You can clearly tell it's Toriyama if you look close enough. The first enemy you fight looks exactly like a small Namekian. The sharp shading on Chrono's hair (sprite) is also very similar to a super saiyan. To me, the dead giveaway is the machines. Toriyama has a very distinct way of drawing machines, robots and vehicles that's instantly recognizable. It truly is a beautiful game.
1 of the best ever undoubtedly but THE best??? There are alot of classic 5-star JRPGs out there dude that can all lay claim to being the best ever just as easily as Chrono Trigger can. Final Fantasy 4 is my personal favorite JRPG👍
@Ayún Espinoza FF6 is a bonafide undisputed masterpiece without question but so is FF4. FF4 is the one that started it all for me, the first FF game I ever played & the game that made me a lifelong FF fan. Despite being the 4th game in the series, FF4 is the game that firmly established many of the series' biggest signatures that would be used in the series from that point on & laid the very foundation for FF to evolve into the legendary franchise that it is today: Timeless soundtrack, unforgettable characters, epic plot, larger than life world and addictive gameplay. FF4 created the very blueprint for the FF formula & led the way for all future games in the series like FF6, FF7 & FF9 to name a few to perfect that very formula.
Don't tell anyone!...I was on the verge of tears after watching this. I thought of all my childhood memories of playing this game over and over, all the friendships they forged and the eras they've traveled, destroying Lavos and saving the world, and I had to hold back the waterworks. Oh Chrono Trigger, I will never forget you.
I don't know why, but every time that i listen this song and " to far away times", i feel the same of You, meaby is for the beginning and the end of this experience, but the memories still intact
when i was the complicated emo kid rejected by everyone at school, this game was my haven until i was able to sort out just how stupid kids can be. Thankyou Chrono Trigger for being my escape.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who had games like to cope and get through the tough times. I'm currently writing a book about how video games can do that, so it's great to read comments like this that reassure me that I'm not just talking out of my ass here. :)
@@MagicSpartan1992 Greetings from the year 2018 How's the book going? I absolutely love Chrono Trigger, and I would just like to add something about my other two favorite game series; Resident Evil/Biohazard is about having a strong desire to live, and Silent Hill is about redemption, at least to me that's what they're about.
Me da mucha tristesa volver a ver esto ,ninguno de los juegos RPG que jugue se compara a esta gran obra de arte sin duda el mejor RPG de toda la historia
I like to believe Chrono Cross never happened and Chrono and the team lived happily ever without ever having to deal with any more conflicts aside from Marle and her father. I mean, seriously? Why should I believe that Lucca was killed off, Johnny was left in the dust in the middle of Lavos' attack and Chrono and Marle were killed in a war? Heroes never die. If anything, peace was restored for all timelines and Lavos took a more humanoid form known as Cell and that's when Goku's journey begins.
Corrin I also hate that it follows the trope of killing characters to continue the plot for another character to suddenly overcome a stronger enemy. I wish Chrono let them all live in their timeline an all hell an chaos happen in another timeline which later affected cross (without Lucca dying). Perhaps lucca & kid could have been attacked but killed someone close to them (I see problem there). I love both trigger & cross. There need to be 3rd installment but time & dimensions are already used.
@@kenshinhimura8708 the third installment could be the old chrono gang going through time fixing the whole mess cross made behind the scenes. After that there could be planes and realms of existence. The world dimension has two meaning. One due to the multiverse theory, and the other as in first dimensional, second dimension, 3rd dimension, etc.
Andres Marrero there wasn’t much mentioned about the 3rd dimension very true,and serge’s home dimension is where Lucca was not attacked by Lynx/Fate/Kazuki,however the Porre Army still takes over and kills Crono and friends. In the home & another dimensions,the trigger characters are killed off. However there still is the 3rd dimension but the dimension distortions were fixed after serge and friends defeated Lavos with Kid inside it. The 3rd dimension would need two conditions in order to allow a continuation for the trigger characters alone 1. Trigger friends needed to defeat the Porre Army or survive if lost 2. There would need to be a way to unbalance the dimensions (i.e.,something not from that dimension needs to be present) and then head to a location where the distortions take place at a single point (I.e.,Opassa Beach). Given that the 6 dragons + Harle were formed and created the geography from fate,once all were vanquished,the world remained as Gaea jungle and El Nido. No other landmass was real. They were dreams of time (think of it as the fayth dreaming in FF10). In the 3rd dimension,fate would need to be successful in saving humanity but this causes serge to remain in lynx’s body (which also implies Kid finds and saves serge at the cliff). Only then would the dimensions could become distorted again and the trigger cast could travel to the future in 2400 A.D.,meet Serge as Lynx (and May possibly meet Magus as Guile) and undo all the chaos which stemmed from the home dimension.
When they are in the bridge and the thunders sound goosebumps come all over, like if they were tired with low hopes of winning and all of the sudden they launch their final strike!
30dynamo shame that scenario would never work, because Crono and the gang hadn't reunited with Frog yet as he lives on the Southern Continent, past Zenan Bridge, which is guarded by Zombor.
This intro cinematic was animated by Toei Animation and Akira Toriyama's Bird Studio, hence the look and sound effects being those of Dragon Ball(Particularly Dragon Ball Path to Power and GT).
Know what? Fuck it. I want SquareEnix and BandaiNamco to collaborate and make a crossover RPG out of nowhere called "Chrono Dragonball". Tie it in with Tapion's Z-Sword being a reforging of Crono's Rainbow Sword, have Lavos fuse with Cell, and go fucking nuts from there.
it's because the intros was created for the PS1 Version of the game I recommend buying the Ds version of chrono Trigger so you can see the intro and play
i fist played the game in the psx version, and the first time i saw this opening, i said "oh, all the characters are already introduced at the start? cool", and played the game,finished the game, and moved on to another game. Now that see it all over again, i think of their friendship, all of their adventures, all of the wonderful and not so wonderful times that they travelled, it makes wanna cry manly tears.... I love this game.
@DevilMarioProductions That one is great, but there’s a big difference. We have almost 40 years of Dragon Ball animation. That intro didn’t offer anything new. The Chrono Trigger opening was our SNES imaginations coming to life. (I also think the music and emotion is better in the CT open)
was playing snes version for some time but left it unfinished, decided to play some chrono trigger again and choosing ps1 version now, thought I won't see much differences but then I get this and I'm crying
I don't know about you guys but when you watch this every night it's like your heart stops you're watching the story dreaming to you wake up from the best thing that ever happened to you Chrono Trigger the best thing that ever happened in life
Everytime I see that intro, I think to myself... Now why can't they make ananime for this game, I mean they've already made intro/cutscenes so why can't they make a fully animated series based on the game if not series then a movie at least...
i sooo wish that they would have made a full animated series of this astonishing game, i just watched the ova but its just 1 episode it left me with hunger of more !!! ^^ even if the anime would have been about that dummy Nuu and his furry friend :( im in love with this epic characters ^^
Crono for smash, make the Epoch the Battle stage, with this song as the background theme song with a shifting background showing the Epoch traveling through time.
Damn you Square for not releasing a port of the game on modern systems. And you too Nintendo for not having this available on the e-shop anymore or keeping it off the SNES Classic
I actually prefer the original over the new intro, though I wish the ports played both alternating. Or at least use that Epoch whoosh sound in this heh.
Who else would pay good money to see an anime adaptation of this game?
I wouldn't pay but I would watch it.
Anime is good but i prefer videogames
try asking akriri toriyama
Yes! :D
+Quinton Fresh how about we give what his face the guy with the sythe liam brain voices and chrono maby like yuri lowleth
Love the people just discovering that Akira Toriyama designed these characters.
It wasn't that obvious in sprite form though.
Not a first glance, but the artwork in the game or the box should hint you about it. Also, the portraits for every character status in-game! ;)
You can clearly tell it's Toriyama if you look close enough. The first enemy you fight looks exactly like a small Namekian. The sharp shading on Chrono's hair (sprite) is also very similar to a super saiyan. To me, the dead giveaway is the machines. Toriyama has a very distinct way of drawing machines, robots and vehicles that's instantly recognizable. It truly is a beautiful game.
he only draws like 4 characters, how could anyone not tell it was him? rofl.
Can't see how they didn't notice. His manga/anime art style is easy to recognize, especially if you're a fan of the Dragonball series.
THE BEST JRPG OFF ALL TIME!!
who`s with me?
pai pai just finished it, friend. What a masterpiece.
1 of the best ever undoubtedly but THE best??? There are alot of classic 5-star JRPGs out there dude that can all lay claim to being the best ever just as easily as Chrono Trigger can. Final Fantasy 4 is my personal favorite JRPG👍
@Ayún Espinoza What's with all those symbols???
@Ayún Espinoza After Years is an okay follow-up to the original classic, not a great sequel but decent.
FF4 is in a league all its own!!!!!!!
@Ayún Espinoza FF6 is a bonafide undisputed masterpiece without question but so is FF4.

I admire your taste in video games; but, seriously dude, change your username.. WAY too many negative connotations! :/
PeteTheGrouch mostly just one negative connotation actually
Negative connotations? What's wrong with having sex with tentacles? Don't be a bigot!
*****
Hey - if it's consensual, then fine.. In my own experience though, it usually isn't...
I think you told everyone yourself, but to each his/her own
That glance that Crono and Frog share before doing X-Strike is always awesome to me. Like "let's do this"
Still get chills seeing that
@@azgazr8 If I remember, Frog isn’t even there during the Zombor fight in game
But yeah, mutual trust in each other
@@angelredvivar it’s an error, but honestly? Who gives a shit? It’s awesome.
No, I'm not crying it's just raining inside here.
Me too dude, me too

My favourite Dragonball game
the art is from Dragon ball creator the game was an all star group of creator to make this masterpiece of a game .

liliane oliveira He was joking. Also, how is he an idiot when you can't even spell 'idiot' right?
gage suther Idiot can not understand joking.
gage suther no he is the indiot for call zis game a dragon bell gema
Favorite part of the whole intro:
Seeing that clock dial swinging back and forth with the music building up leading to the title...gets me everytime!
The best part
Legendary
sends chills down my spine
So basically you should have watched the SNES intro and not this PS1 one 😂
The amount of pure information in this opening is outstanding. Chrono trigger will remain a classic that time will never forget.
Best part is from 2:17 to 2:36. Kick ass teamwork and those iconic dragon ball sounds.
I always thought this X strike looks like shader effects for the time. IDK why
Still have chills with this game/opening. My childhood game and one of my life's favorites (along with FFVII, Ocarina and Majora's Mask)
Dang you have a lot of the same favorites as me.
I have almost same favourite games, except FFVII, i prefer FFVI
when i was the complicated emo kid rejected by everyone at school, this game was my haven until i was able to sort out just how stupid kids can be.
Thankyou Chrono Trigger for being my escape.

It's definitely true. Although there's a dark side to that too, which I'm sure you already know...

Maybe 20 years more or less. Both the music and game are still in my memories.
Wonderful memory.
Yeah.
they did ff7 remake i hope they do this as well :'(

I beat this game so many time yet I can play it again, truly a masterpiece from my childhood.
The ps1 version was a remake and the DS one was a remake of a remake inside a remake
At least the ps1version wasn't a buterd port it was a good one
What's wrong with the ds version?
Speed Wagon you can't have it on a tv
they're not remakes
its a remakeception
Godddamn I love this game.
my love this game
Gives me goosebumps every time!
Dragon ball sound effects *Q*
Akira Toryama Did all the artwork in this game
This intro cinematic was animated by Toei Animation and Akira Toriyama's Bird Studio, hence the look and sound effects being those of Dragon Ball(Particularly Dragon Ball Path to Power and GT).
Know what? Fuck it. I want SquareEnix and BandaiNamco to collaborate and make a crossover RPG out of nowhere called "Chrono Dragonball". Tie it in with Tapion's Z-Sword being a reforging of Crono's Rainbow Sword, have Lavos fuse with Cell, and go fucking nuts from there.
+Awesmic (Retro Music Extensions) i think you didn't know the sword of tapion is the masamune search for it
Awesmic I concur with your demand. Square,make it happen
I love this game so much, I'm playing it right now, but I'm playing the SNES version so there are no anime cutscenes
it's because the intros was created for the PS1 Version of the game I recommend buying the Ds version of chrono Trigger so you can see the intro and play
Kaiser Charles I know that, I was just commenting...
SNES best classic vers
I got it too
Oh lord...the feels!
It's 2017. Where's my Chrono Trigger series reboot?
Zane Oneiros You got a watered down port...
Canceled
@Zane Oneiros it's 2019.. still waiting!
2020 still waiting
those people don't work for Square anymore
1:22 Robo busting in like Kool-Aid Man, not giving a crap...

Now that see it all over again, i think of their friendship, all of their adventures, all of the wonderful and not so wonderful times that they travelled, it makes wanna cry manly tears....

Dragon ball style is very appealing every where you use it =)
Its because the designer of the characters is the legend...Akira Toriyama...the creator of Dragon Ball
Chrono Trigger Z
I saw this so many time on the DS version of the game. Such a legendary opening with accompanying music.
I’m not sure there is a better intro in video games. The music is beyond amazing and the visuals paint the whole picture of how awesome this game is.
@DevilMarioProductions That one is great, but there’s a big difference. We have almost 40 years of Dragon Ball animation. That intro didn’t offer anything new.
The Chrono Trigger opening was our SNES imaginations coming to life.
(I also think the music and emotion is better in the CT open)
shoulda remade this instead of ff 7
+druha10304 both to me whould be fine with a remake and chrono cross man
+druha10304 RIGHT?! :D
sadly, chrono trigger is not a money making machine like FF... even though it is far superior
Don't understand why we just can't enjoy both, I'm a big fan of both games.
@Claus
uhm... yeah... that wasnt the point... of course u can enjoy both games. who said anything about the thing u are talking about?
Everytime I see the opening I get emotional. I miss this game. Long live Chrono Trigger!!
What a beautiful childhood memories with this fantastic game.
was playing snes version for some time but left it unfinished, decided to play some chrono trigger again and choosing ps1 version now, thought I won't see much differences but then I get this and I'm crying
I don't know about you guys but when you watch this every night it's like your heart stops you're watching the story dreaming to you wake up from the best thing that ever happened to you Chrono Trigger the best thing that ever happened in life
I know you feel me they have to create a remake this is the best game ever it touches your soul
I think that Trunks of the future is based in Crono. Lavos is similar to "Cell"
Yeah, you can _clearly_ tell Toriyama worked on this. Definitely has that classic Dragon Ball feel to it.
When I got Final Fantasy Chronicles as a kid and watched this, I was blown away...
at 2:03 with the black tyranno and that remixed opening theme in the background i get the epic feels :3
Es un recuerdo muy hermozo, muchas gracias :'3
Everytime I see that intro, I think to myself... Now why can't they make ananime for this game, I mean they've already made intro/cutscenes so why can't they make a fully animated series based on the game if not series then a movie at least...
Nai Lematua whenever I see it my thoughts on when he's looking at that photo is why can't I have friends like that
Nai Lematua there is a manga but only one chapter
there is also a prequel to the game in a short Anime movie that's subbed somewhere on here being TH-cam might wanna try and find it
th-cam.com/video/0oRpCjKoPps/w-d-xo.html this is a thing lol
Foda demais nostalgia! Bons tempos que jogava no snes.
I'm waiting for Chrono to go super sayan. XD
E3 2017 dreams:
Chrono Cross remake/sequel
Chrono Trigger remake/sequel
MadJackal 95 MAKE THIS HAPPEN SQUARE
i sooo wish that they would have made a full animated series of this astonishing game, i just watched the ova but its just 1 episode it left me with hunger of more !!! ^^ even if the anime would have been about that dummy Nuu and his furry friend :( im in love with this epic characters ^^
Noel Marin yes this and cross
게임나온지가 20년은 된것같은데도 정말 잘만든것 같아요 . 지금해도 재밌음..
Yoshinori Kitase, Akira Toriyama and Hironobu Sakaguchi, thank you so much for this amazing game and soundtrack!
Long live the king.
The animated cutscenes in the PS1 and DS versions were done by Toei Animation.
Here because unsure if chuggaaconroy is gunna show this openning once he starts this LP tomorrow.
First time seeing it, and wow...that was an experience.
Goosebumb enducing
This game absolutely need a remake
For things like this, I think PS1 is the spiritual SNES successor
Crono for smash, make the Epoch the Battle stage, with this song as the background theme song with a shifting background showing the Epoch traveling through time.
Greatest Game of all Time
The lullaby part makes me cry
.......damn it now I want to play this again...
Chrono is on Goku Levels of ripped... when he only had a wooden sword.... Jesus LUL
The best anime we never had!
Damn you Square for not releasing a port of the game on modern systems. And you too Nintendo for not having this available on the e-shop anymore or keeping it off the SNES Classic
This game is like a punch to the throat for me. So many memories...
It's almost as good as Final Fantasy 6.
RIP Akira Toriyama 😢
My childhood
RIP Akira😢
Eu olha para isso e só consigo imaginar com seria um REMAKE com todas as cutscenes
em formato de anime. Sonha é bom
So much Dragon Ball feelings, even with the same sound effects
EL MEJOR VIDEOJUEGO DE LA HISTORIA!
2:03 till the end is my favorite bit of the theme
I cant imagine the characters being designed by anyone other than toriyama
I always loved Lucca pose in the photo
Steven Tri Cahyadi Surya ya know there's a question...when was that photo taken? Seems like that shoulda been in the game
It looks like better animation than Z and its on the verge of GT animation here. Looks AWESOME!!!
All of the people calling for a remake...folks, this is the PS1 version, it *was* the remake...CT was originally a SNES game, remember?
VulpisFoxfire ports and remakes are not the same thing. This was a port, not a remake.
the best game ever made!
akira toriyama san
hope you will be a good angle
rip
R.I.P Akira Toriyama 😭
An anime adaptation of Chrono Trigger by Akira Toriyama would be so amazing, doubt it will happen though.
...it just occurred to me that the PS Classic could fix the SNES Classic's mistake of not having this
Bring Chrono Trigger to the Switch
For me not a game a adventure :'(
I actually prefer the original over the new intro, though I wish the ports played both alternating. Or at least use that Epoch whoosh sound in this heh.
OP sword sfx
I wish they would make a Netflix Original series for Chrono Trigger. =O
I got Ds verison of this. AND I LOVE IT!
The Opening of Snes ... for some reason to me still feels it has more of a impact storytelling wise then the PS opening version
What would Chrono Trigger look like if it had Octopath Traveller Graphics?
The original super saiyan god: chrono
Anyone playing in 2018?
Yes
Here
I would...but not now
omfg seriously if life cant be this type of adventure im out lol
Nostalgia 😰 Ohhhhhhhhh MG
Would've made sense if they used dragon ball's sfx for the in-game normal atks and magics and maybe other stuffs,just like they did in this intro
Seeing this opening I only can say this: Akira Toriyama is "the man"!
I cryed when i finished This game
I know, it is a simple game but, graphics Don't is All
Come on Square Enix, where is the Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross Remake that the newer generations need?!
I love the dbz art style
クロノトリガー私は好きですけどゲーム好きですが難しいですね。クロノトリガー音楽は大好きです何度も聞いていてもあきないです。
2019 :)
